would not, if 1 could, harm a hair be-
longing to a Mormon head What fol
lows will show your unharmful and in
nocent intentions.
"The Mormons will want to know
what Miss Kate Field has been saying
in theRast about them. and about the
indictment, she has, with long and
patient study, drawn against the Nor
mon Monster. ~ Tribune, Nav 18th,
1887. l will here note some of your
amiable sayings about the Mormons by
quoting from a number of your letters
written to the Boston Herald and New
York World, and from references made
to your anti-Mormon lectures, by the
National Republican, Philadelphia Press,
the New Orleans TimeS-Democrat, and
other papers; also from a synopsis of
your Mormon Monster" lecture in
Washington City; so that the Nor
mons may know" as your vile apollo
gist suggests, what you have been say
ing about them in the east" In your
letter of January 18th, 1884. to the Bos-
ton Herald, referring to President Tay-
lor's article in the North american Re
view, you adopt this proposition :" False
in one, false in all, and that lone story
is good until another is told" In fol-
lowing me l trust you will not lose
sight of these tests of veracity adopted
by yourself. In your letters, etc., the
following are some of the chaste and
charitable illusions you make to the
Mormons and Mormonism, in which YOU
employ the term liar" and its equiva-
lent some twelve times, and you use the
choice terms, thieves" "aliens" and
"hypocrites' with reckless freedom.
This, of course. must be expected from
such a refined, brilliant and cultured
source.
"They reduce lying to SCIENCE"
Your bare assertion above Individually
establishes this averment, l suppose.
The perjury they committed in
recent case was so appalling that Judge
Zane stood appalled," What recent case
was this, and who were the perjurers?
Has Zane recovered from his stultifica-
ton? Appalling perjurers" can easily
be proven guilty and punished. Were
they punished? If not, why2 Can YOU
name the perjurers? I defy you to.
The thieves were Lstter-day Saints"
Queer Saints" eh? Who were they?
They are as much aliens to all our
Institutions as Figi Islanders" This is
an Alpine falsehood. defy you to show
up a single reputable example in sup
port OF this malignant charge; while
devotion and attachment to the Consti-
tuition and constitutional laws of our
country are phenomenal and run all
the teachings of the church
from 1880 to 1887.
with them it is no crime to kill
Gentiles." a monslrous falsehood.
Produce, if you can, the names of the
Gentiles murdered by Mormons, and
the teachings leading up to such deeds
Don't name Mountain Meadows and
DR.. Robinson, for you must know that
there,,was not a scintilla of proof that the
Mormon people were guilty of those
atrocities, Notwithstanding the super
human efforts of anti-Mormons to
fasten guilt upon them.
II once visited a Mormon family in
which there were eight wives, ugly
beasts of burden" This is one of YOUR
falsehoods. Did you on your
return from the visit inform Marshal
Ireland and Attorney Dickson about
them? If so, why was the man not
fined and imprisoned? Dare YOU
attempt to name and locate the family?
What shameful lie you have made out
Of whole cloth. Have you no con.
science? False in one, false in ALL"
The missionary lied;;" "They are
1ypocrites !" Their word was worth
ess." What elite charges.
The wives usually support their hus-
bands" Names and examples, please.
You know that such statements are
alse in both warp and wool.
There are 10000 Mormons in Utah

Il was confounded by his lies"
They are animals" He knew he was

ounded utterauces.
Before the Gentiles reached Utah the
dormons lived on carrots and religion.
